The Girls' Turn & BB Elimination

Again, I had to toggle, but I think it worked out well.

The 70s theme sucks, at least for me. I don't particularly like 70s music, especially the stuff these Idol people are picking. Anyway, at least I can look forward to next week being 80s week.

Alaina (young blonde in the blue dress)- Aside from a few notes, I thought she did awesome. She's got a great voice, probably one of the best ones there. The judges didn't swoon over her, but at least she didn't screw up.

Alexandrea (tall black girl wearing puffy winter vest and shorts...wtf??)- She's got a great voice, and she picked a great band (Chicago), only she chose the crappiest song they've ever released. Hopefully she'll redeem herself next week.

Amanda (weird rocker chick)- Thank god, she made a bad song even worse last night, and I think she'll go home tonight. Thank god. I don't know if I could have handled an entire season of that screaming mess. And the hair. And the clothes. My god. Imagine her on 50s classics night, what would she have sung? I hope the judges realize what a huge mistake they made by putting her through.

Asia (the once who went last)- I know there's supposed to be "...'h..." at the end of her name, but I refuse to put it there, because it's stupid and moot. Simon was exactly right about her, the song was too big for her voice. Don't get me wrong, she did much better than 90% of the public could do, and she hit a few notes that were pretty impressive, but a person shouldn't even attempt that song unless they're as good as Celine Dion, which is nobody, least of all not her. A valiant attempt, but meh.

Brooke (the flower child with the guitar)- Yawn. I guess the judges liked her last night, but I think her voice sucks. I'd like her to go home but I don't think she will.

Carly (the dark haired Irish chick)- Yay!! She's my favorite, what a voice! And she did a really good job with a really crappy song. Hopefully she'll pick something better next week though, old "Heart" isn't exactly memorable.

Kady (the blonde who sounds like Britney)- Her performance sucked, the song sucked for her voice, she didn't do well, but whatever. She's got a really good voice and she won't be going home b/c she's too pretty and that's just the way this show works sometimes. Hopefully she'll do better next week because I really like this girl. But anyway, the funniest part of last night's show was at the end of the performance, when she said "thanks you" to the judges and Seacrest told her to "say it like Britney". Joey, being Joey, says, "ya, I bet that's what her boyfriend makes her do in bed...'say it like Britney, do it like Britney'...." I thought that was pretty funny b/c it's probably true.

Kristy Lee (yet another blonde, the country one)- She's got a good voice, but I'm not sure how good she is overall. I'd like to see her go home, but based on her looks, I'm not sure she will.

Ramiele (the Asian one) - If she wears tapered jeans one more time, I'm writing to the show to complain. She picked kind of a tacky song, but she's got a really good voice, so I hope she goes farther.

Syesha (black girl with big hair) - I thought she gave the most solid performance technically, but the song was slow and boring and blah. I'm sure she's safe for this week.

So that's the girls. I think that vile rocker chick will be leaving, but I'm unsure about the second person to be eliminated.

***********************************************

Not much to say about BB, other than Amanda & Alex getting evicted. Other than that, Joshuah needs to stop tanning, he's looking pretty orange. And I can't believe CBS isn't going to address the gay porn thing with James, especially since he's getting so cozy with Chelsia. We'll see what happens next week.
